Summary: Texas in the springtime
Comment: What a delightful book. Collie Collins discovers another side to life in San Saline, Texas when she arrives to start writing a series of articles on cooking. Previously Collie was a high powered reporter but through a series of events, lost her job, was dumped by her boyfriend and betrayed by people she trusted. So she finds herself in San Saline, a small town in the hill country of Texas, trying to find her way. She meets True, The Tractor Man. As with many things in San Saline, he is not what she expected. In San Saline, she begins to discover things about herself as well as the others in town. This is a heart warming story about taking chances and risks in your life. Will she find out the event in True's past that changed him and brought him back to San Saline? Will she ever return back to her previous life in the fast paced world in D.C.? Does she want to go back to that life, or has she truly found something special in San Saline? The story moves along, is funny, and touching. I think you will enjoy it, and it made me long for a spring day in Texas filled with rolling hills covered in wild flowers....come on and stop for a visit in San Saline...you may not wish to leave anytime soon...

Summary: Amazing contemporary romance novel
Comment: I first read "Tending Roses" by Lisa Wingate and absolutely loved it. I picked up "Texas Cooking," not expecting a contemporary romance novel, but found that I really enjoyed it! I am not much of a romance reader, many times I find they revolve around the heroine and hero finally having sex. Mrs. Wingate avoided writing an explicit chapter(s) while still capturing the jolt one feels when reading about the physical attraction between a man and a woman. I was thoroughly pleased with the path the heroine had to take to get to the typical ending. I say typical, because the reader will determine the outcome of the book as it does follow the romance novel outline. Girl meets boy, boy is infuriating but interesting, girl falls for boy, girl must make life changing decision, girl and boy part, girl realizes mistake and they get together to live happy ever after. BUT!!!! That is the beauty of this genre... predictable to a degree, feel good book that takes you away from every day worries. Lisa Wingate throws in a few of her own twists, creating a tale of love, choices, and a whole new reason to visit Texas!

Summary: EXCELLENT, Best I've read in a long time
Comment: Texas Cooking is the best book I have read in just about forever. I've read romances for years, but it's been a long time since I've found an author I was really excited about. I seldom bother to post book reviews, but this story deserved one.
Once I picked the book up, I couldn't put it down. I felt like I knew (and liked) every one of the characters and I could picture the wonderful little town of San Saline. Collie's relationship with True was so realistic, and I commend an author who can make a love story believable and compelling without having to rely on tons of hot sex or ridiculously out of control physical attraction. Collie and True really did "fall in love", emotionally, spiritually, and physically, and being a part of it as a reader was absolutely magic. True was a fantastic, realistic, flawed, slightly wounded hero with an outward strength and an inward emotional side that made him impossible to resist. This book is so much more than just a romance novel. It's a story about life, love, people, friendship, and all of the things that really matter. Many passages were so profound, I had to stop and read them over again. I've since gone back and read Lisa Wingate's other two books, and both of them are fantastic as well. I have a new favorite author. I can't wait for the sequel to Texas Cooking to come out! BRAVO!!!
